Durango Independent Film Festival, March 4-8, 2009

We became the Highest Rated Film on Durango website today - thanks to all who voted for us, and especially those who wrote comments. Those mean a lot. We were just invited to screen at the Boston International Film Festival, Apr. 17-26. And the programmers of Monterey's Golden State Film Fest have paired L&RK with James Ivory's SHAKESPEARE WALLAH. I'll be in Monterey Mar 26 to introduce my film and speak about Jim's (which was made a very long time before I started working with him!) This photo from our screening in Sedona with filmmaker Phil Noyes and our screening's host.
